Betting that Edwards won’t make KO’s “Worst People In the World” list
I’m gonna go with Duh.
I’m also gonna bet that the next time a conservative elected or formally elected official gets in trouble, FNC is gonna either drop the story, drop the party or change the party.
Like Democrat Mark Foley. Its true. Ask the O’Reilly factor. Twice in the same (pre-recorded) show.
Some things just aren’t worth betting on. We just named two. The sun rising tomorrow would be a third
^^
You’d lose. The sun doesn’t actually rise.
Was Keith in for Countdown? CNN like numbers. Hideous.
DO you think the Olympics are impacting the nums?
I told everyone on these posts that olberman would not put edwards as the worse person in the world,not worse or sorser or nothing.
That's news,that's unbiased ,that's fair…..that's what he says fox is,that's what he says the wsj and post are…….Yet he isn';t biased and he's fair right?some olberman lover defend this please!!!
1.He cheated on his wife while she was going through cancer for goodness sake…who does that?
2.He fathered that child,or his staffer did,either way he's saying him and his staffer was tag teaming the same broad.
3.He ran for president knowing he had done this,putting the party's hopes of the WH in jeopardy.
4.The money trail,paying this woman millions with no tax records stating the donations.
5.He lied to the media and the world when he reiterated that the inquire story was false
6.He's put his family through the mudd,and if this happened in 2006 why was he visiting her at 2:45 AM, in 2008.
None of this is worst person material,….yet mark foley and craig was?That's why he's loss HALF HIS AUDIENCE.good riddens bathtub boy.
Yea yea, “its just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round” (i know the song is talking about sunset, but it still works)
Keith has been below his norm for a while. Its strange. It will be interesting to see what happened yesterday. They are pushing their prime time bloc pretty hard during the Olympics on that channel
Anonymous, Olbermann was on. It's interesting to see how much he's dropped. Abrams has dropped too, but not nearly as much as Olbermann.
